“Took my kids to the new park in Ashdod (“Park Ashdod Yam”). I wanted a close, free activity- and it was great! There was nothing to pay for there if I wanted to (didn’t even have a ice cream stand yet!) The park is new, so will still be developing, but for now, there is a really amazing playground with a lot of unique equipment and a nice sized sand area. This is the only shaded area around, so it was very crowded, especially because it is “Bein Hazmanim.” My kids still had a blast. There is also exercise equipment, an acoustic park that makes music, and courts for basketball and soccer. Next time maybe we’ll bring a ball! There is a man-made lake there that will have boating, but for now it is pretty to look at, and at night it has a fountain that lights up, if you stay late enough. There is a mostly clean bathroom, and picnic tables. We were only there for the afternoon, but I definitely could have stayed a while longer had I brought dinner. I would recommend parking in lot #8, as it is stroller friendly and right near the playground. It is really hot there in the unshaded areas, but by 6:30 it would have been pleasant to picnic there. There is a nice smooth area for skating/ riding scooters, and you can fly kites there or bring sand toys for more fun. Eventually I think there will be mini-golf there and restaurants, but I saw no signs of that yet.”(2015)

Description:

Park/playground/lake

Directions: take the southern entrance to Ashdod, and drive straight until the end, by the beaches. At the big traffic circle with the “arches” make a right, and you will see the parking lot on your left side. Turn at the first traffic circle, and park in lot #8. Enjoy! (The park is right near the beach, so you can combine it with a day at the beach, though you will be pretty hot and tired by the end)

I do not know my way around ashdod at all. I put פארק אשדוד ים in waze. It took me to the ampitheatre there. I kept driving and got to a parking lots which was kinissa 8, the right place for the playground

Just to clarify for anyone trying to figure out where it is. It isn’t Southern Ashdod. It is South of the Port, but North/East of the Marina and North West of the City Center. If you drive on the coastal road from the port, just keep going and following the coast and you’ll hit the park. If you got to the marina, you went too far.

We went this afternoon and I was going to post that it was great. We just went to the playground. Park at Knissa 8 if you want the closest easy place to the playground. Bathrooms are decent and nearby. The official name is Park Ashdod Yam

The new park in Ashdod – It is in South Ashdod. It is quite a large area with lots of open grassy areas. The playground is well-shaded and full of unusual play equipment. There is a large man-made lake that had boats, but I’m not sure if they are available for use yet. We spent an hour and a half there, including lunch. It is a 2 minute drive to the beach from there and we made a whole day outing out of the park and then the beach. (2015)
